THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION
has been very active in sending legal voters home
and about thousand have been furnished with
certificates for reduced railroad fare. Most OF
these have gone to Maryland and Virginia, but
many have gone to New York.
ENTHUSIASM OF THE REPUBLICANS HERE.
Mr.. Whitaker, the secretary OF the association
says that he was surprised at the enthusiasm
shown BY republicans In this city to get in their
votes. He says there was a very deep feeling
among them, and he thinks It Is what may be ex-
pected In the States and Is good sign OF republi-
can success. A large number Of republican clerks
In the Departments have gone home to vote their
straight tickets. No dispatches are being received
AT the republican headquarters, and very little is
heard by those who are anxiously waiting as to
how the elections are coming Of.

The Maryland Democratic Association sent out
OF the city OF Washington over six hundred voters
by railroad to different points In the State This
does not include the numbers who went out In
vehicles to vote at precincts near the city.
The Virginia Democratic Association sent some
thing over 300 voters TO that State Last year the
number OF democratic voters furnished with GER
tfcates Tor transportation by the association was
only about 40 This year about eight times as
many were sent and the Officers OF the association
argue that the Increased number indicates the
deep interest or democrats In the result, and that
the full party vote will be out
